Compression therapy is a centuries-old tool beneficial for vascular system wellbeing, as well as an adjunct treatment or preventative measure for specific medical conditions such as varicose veins, blood clots, ulcers, and even migraines.
New treatment applications for compression therapy are routinely being discovered, such as compression therapy for cancer-related lymphedema. The benefits of compression therapy extend beyond those grappling with medical conditions, and athletes in particular are taking notice. Compression therapy is gaining popularity with people who live an active lifestyle for its ability to improve athletic performance and reduce soreness after exercise.
The proven, beneficial impact of compression therapy on whole health and wellbeing makes it ideal for a wide range of wellness journeys.
How Compression Therapy Works:
Compression therapy works by applying gentle pressure to the leg through the use of specially designed bandages, boots, stockings, or socks. The gentle squeezing of the leg helps blood flow more easily and in the correct direction.
Improved circulation ensures that blood and oxygen continuously flow throughout the body—allowing every organ to function properly.
